We had our rescan at the doctor yesterday. The baby hasn't grown at all since the last U/S and didn't have a heartbeat. The doctor has taken blood for hcg and I go back on Monday for a repeat, but I started bleeding pink when I wipe after we left the doctor, so don't think it will be long before the baby leaves. The doctor thinks it is probably just a genetic problem with the baby, but having lost my daughter also I'm thinking there's maybe more going on with me. I don't bleed at all, even though I've been on aspirin. I'm wondering if we need more next time or if maybe it's hyperthyroid or if my BS being to high was a problem. I'm going to try to get the baby when it passes to be tested to see if there is a genetic problem, but not sure if I'll be able to. Has anyone had normal tests for clotting/ autoimmune, but still had a clotting/ autoimmune test?

Oh, no, I'm so sorry to hear that. Two losses must be so hard to bear, especially this close together. The doc said it was probably a genetic issue, but I'd still want to gather all the information about my body and health that I possibly could. I wish you strength to manage this.

I am so, so sorry to hear about this. I remember how excited you were to be pregnant again. I hope you are able to find out what happened.

I remember reading that Angie's MFM or OB told her that there could be clotting disorders that they don't have tests for, but I don't recall anyone testing normal and then finding out later they actually do have one.

I am so very sorry I experienced two early losses, and I was told the same each time. ... that it happens; I know not much consolation. Take the time you need to recover, and talk to your doctors and nurses if there is any further testing that could be done.

I passed what I think is the baby/ sack/ placenta this morning. We went to the doctor this afternoon. They were sending the tissue to the pathologist as this is my second loss (in 4 months). He suspects this was a chromosomal problem with the baby and we won't have another issue. They are going to continue monitoring me and taking blood hcg until it gets to 0. I go back next week for another. He's doing Thyroid testing and we'll look at other auto immune/ clotting tests they may need to run once the hcg is gone.
